I agree with BOTs but I think this squad is the best England have had for decades. In terms of of strength, England have one of the best squads at international level. It blows my mind to think of Pep or Klopp coaching Kane, Saka, Bellingham, Rice etc not to mention the players he's already worked with in Stones, Foden Grealish etc. He makes players better due to his high standard. Sadly I cannot say this of Sir G.

Yes, you need a bit of luck but the manager also needs to step up. The France game - Southgate subs bothered me. The most adventurous sub he made was to take of Stones and bring on Henderson. Also, correct me if I'm wrong but both starting full backs finished the game and neither of them was Trent Alexander Arnold. It was Walker and Luke Shaw. This is not gonna win tournaments.

Sir G doesn't seem to recognise that, like against France - "This is it. This is the moment to win a tournament. This is the time to finally become Sir Gareth Southgate and there are no more games if we lose this one. This attitude and lack of awareness of a situation cant win tournaments for England IMO
